Heal Anxiety Naturally

April 30, 2019

Having suffered for years with debilitating anxiety one of the power tools that helped me along my journey was mastering the art of mindfulness.

Mindfulness certainly is a power tool and the lovely thing about mindfulness in particular is that there is no right or wrong way to practice it. The purpose of mindfulness is to bring you into the present moment with a non-judgemental awareness. This is very soothing for the nervous system and the more mindfulness is practiced, the easier it becomes. The more you train yourself to bring your awareness to your breath the more your brain will get used to this pattern and slowly start to adapt.

It is important not to try to empty your mind. Your mind loves having something to do therefore it’s impossible to stop our thoughts completely. We as humans are designed and created to think! With regular mindfulness practice will begin to notice your thoughts as they crop up, which is part of being mindful but all we do is return our attention back to our breathing each time. Calm and centred 🤩
